New release of MLMMJ (version 1.2.18.0) uploaded in Debian

MLMMJ stands for Mailing List Manager Made Joyful. To me, it’s the best mailing list manager available. Not only its written in C (no slow interpreted language here…), but also it is easy and very convenient to setup. No hack is needed to make it run on a multi-domain environment, and no need to run a special subdomain for your lists (yes, I’m thinking about you, silly Mailman…). If you didn’t know, MLMMJ is used to handle relatively high traffic lists: all mailing lists for Gentoo are using MLMMJ for example.

MLMMJ 1.2.18.0 has just been release upstream, few days ago (on the 29 of may). It’s with a great pleasure that I packaged (and uploaded to SID) the latest version, and wrote the changelog, where I wrote that 6 Debian specific patches (out of 8) could be removed! One of the funny changes are the renaming of the “mlmmj-recieve” into “mlmmj-receive” as it always should have been (with a symlink to keep backward compatibility), and the removal of the .sh extension to the mlmmj-make-ml (which was patched in Debian to be kept policy compliant: that’s one of the removed patches…).

Even if I did a few quick functional tests before uploading, I’d be happy to get some feedback before Wheezy is out, so please test and eventually bug-report!
